Kiefer Ravena and Jeron Teng will be joining forces for the first time to lead the squad, which will be complemented by Troy Rosario from the UAAP champions, National University Bulldogs, and Javee Mocon and Ola Adeogun of the five-time NCAA champions San Beda Red Lions.
The other members of Team PCWorx are Mac Belo from Far Eastern University, Kiefer's younger brother Thirdy, Jaymar Perez of San Sebastian College, and Jeron's fellow Green Archer Almond Vosotros. They will be reinforced by former NBA lottery picks DerMarr Johnson and Eddy Curry and will be mentored by multi-titled head coach Tim Cone.
Ravena looks forward to his fun team-up with his rival, noting that "this is for a good cause."
The UAAP MVP also shares that it "is an honor to play for one of the winningest PBA coaches in PBA history," noting that they will learn a lot from the Purefoods-STAR Hotshots head coach.
Team PCWorx will face off against Team Gawad Kalinga, bolstered by the Ball Up streetball All-Stars: Grayson “The Professor” Boucher, Larry “Bone Collector” Williams, Taurian “Air Up There” Fontanette, Gary “G-Smith” Smith, Aaron “AO” Owens, Anthony “Mr. Afrika” Pimble and Ryan “Special FX” Williams. The team will be reinforced by former PBA stalwarts Jerry Codinera, Willie Miller, and Renren Ritualo.
Team Gawad Kalinga will be handled by Allen Iverson, whom Kiefer is looking forward to meeting. He says that Allen is one of those players "who revolutionized the game of basketball."
Proceeds from the basketball event, which is backed by Philippine Airlines, NBA Café Manila, Solaire Resort and Casino, Samsung, Intel, Microsoft, PhilCare, Canon, Rapoo, Accel, and the Mall of Asia Arena, will go to Gawad Kalinga.
Tickets are still available at SM Tickets and at selected PCWorx branches.
